I've been playing on it for a few weeks now. I've been meaning to test a few decks out, but recently I haven't had the patience to build them. I'd be willing to play against you guys when I have the time.

My username is duvot. I dunno what it means, but I pronounce it with a silent 't'... as if it were French or something.

Hey guys and gals, I'm new to MTG. In fact I just purchased some new packs today ... I'm heading to my local comic book shop tomorrow to buy a deck and do some playing. Any suggestions as far as making a purchase? I'm awfully fond of Dragons...

I went to FnM last night and came in last but anyway I was trading around and I got an Avacyn but anyway Thundermaw Hellkite is a really good Dragon Creature but un foil it's a $20 card.

EDIT:
recently got some money $75, so I'm thinking of getting a Izzet vs. Golgari Duel Deck and a 2013 Deck Builders Toolkit. I wantto get the toolkit because I generally get some good pulls out of the packs (4 of my 5 planeswalkers and most of my mythic rares were from deck builder kits). So I'll post pulls this weekend after I get them.

EDIT 2:
Got the deckbuilders toolkit a few days early (thank god). Also got a pre-con the Odric 2013 deck. I pulled a non-foil Thragtusk a non-foil Serra's Avatar and a few other good cards.

Geez...last time I was on the forums this thread didn't exist. Shows how long I've been gone...

Anyway, I've been playing casually since around M11. I started playing competitively since M13's release and have placed first or second in all but two tournaments I've participated in since then. God, I love this game!

I ended up going U/B. With a pair of Wind Drakes, Negates, Nighthawks, Mutilate, Encrust, 2x Mind Sculpts, Jace, Kraken Hatchling, Mark of the Vampire, and some other goodies. Jace was a star. Especially with Mind Sculpts.

Round 1: Against Grixis.
Game one was won handily by Jace and Mind Sculpts, despite my opponent getting Harbor Bandit and a Nighthawk of her own out.

Game two I lost. I just couldn't get the board stabilized in time, and with Nighthawk and 2 Harbor Bandits, 2 Giant Scorpions...I just couldn't hold on. Unfortunately, I was one draw away from Mind Sculpt, which would have won me the game.

Game three was a draw...on a technicality. It was a Loooong game, and we went to Turns. On turn 5, I milled her out with Jace. But as we end on Turn 5, both of us were still in the game. We agreed to draw.

Round 2: Against Monoblue.

He won G1, though I put up a heck of a fight. Can't exactly remember how it went down, though I almost beat him.

Game 2 I just out-raced him and controlled his board. Encrust, Negate, and Rewind along with a Harbor Serpent (sided in just for him). He just couldn't keep up, and I won.

Game 3 I won via Jace again. He ended up milling himself, actually, because of Sphinx of Uthuun.

Round 3: Against WB Exalted-ish

I won game 1, Again with Jace and Mind Sculpt. I almost was milled out myself via Sands of Delirium, but that got Encrusted. I Mind Sculpted twice, and Drew a Jace to finish the job.

Game 2: Opening hand was Jace and Lands. I kept it, because why not. T3 I drew a Mind Sculpt. T5 was Jace. In total I milled him for 27. Which on top of 7 initial hand and 5+draws...is 39. He drew his last card, passed the turn. And I passed back.

In any case I'm really looking forward to Return to Ravnica. So much EDH goodness (I'm an EDH player to the core).
I got the Chaos Reigns Planechase deck for my Animar EDH (mainly so I can get the "Peregrine Drake" + "Deadeye Navigator" combo, and Maelstrom Wanderer too).
Other notable EDHs i own are Sliver Overlord, Captain Sisay, Phelddagrif and Vish Kal.

Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

i think the best part about rtr is the quantity of value rares. you can open shocks, abrupt decay, dreadbore, vraska, sphinx's thing, rakdos's return (even though imo it's terrible and would much rather play blightning), the uncounterable cycle, cyclonic rift, mizzium mortars, rest in peace, jace, etc. drafting the set looks very promising as well, so overall the set is a home run for me.

Yeah, they really payed their respects to Ravnica. I absolutely love the new Rakdos. Even out of EDH, a 6/6 Flying Trample with no drawbacks for BBRR is a really powerful beater, though I'd pick Wayfaring Temple + Armada Wurm any day.
